"Unschön", as German says. I think the cleanest way to go is to have deluser return a documented return code in the case of "perl-modules not installed, I cannot fully perform what I was asked for", and for ippl's postrm (and a whole bunch of others of my packages) to properly special-case this. Cloning, reassigning and renaming appropriately. Greetings Marc -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Marc Haber | "I don't trust Computers.
